Which of the following statement about CBOD and NBOD is wrong? O CBOD is carbonaceous biological oxygen demand. This BOD refers to the portion of total BOD usually related to organic carbons as result of biodegradation. O NBOD is non-biological oxygen demand. NBOD refers to the portion of total BOD usually related to the conversion of ammonia nitrogen to nitrite or nitrate. O CBOD and NBOD evolve at different stages of biodegradation. O NBOD is characterized by a post stage of biodegradation, where CBOD occurs throughout the entire biodegradation if any carbonaceous organics are present.

How does the processes of cellular respiration impact the global carbon cycle? Group of answer choices It returns CO2 to the atmosphere that is breathed out by animals. It leads to the conversion of Ammonium into Nitrate. It removes CO2 from the atmosphere. It adds CO2 to the inaccessible reservoir.

With antibiotic resistance rising, researchers are lookingfor ways to reduce use of these drugs. Some cattle oncefed antibiotic-laced food now get probiotic feed that canbolster populations of helpful bacteria in the animal’sgut. The idea is that if a large population of beneficialbacteria is in place, then harmful bacteria cannot becomeestablished or thrive. Which ecological principle is guiding this practice?
Why is carbon dioxide the focus of so much attention regarding climate change? What are the main sources of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and what can we do to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Bring into your discussion the carbon cycle, a discussion of Venus and Mercury, the evidence for human impact on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and its impact on climate (refer to any graphs you need to), and ways in which scientists have recommended limiting climate change.
With antibiotic resistance rising, researchers are looking for ways to reduce the use of antibiotics. Instead of antibiotic-laced food, some cattle now get probiotic feed with cultured bacteria that can establish or bolster populations of helpful bacteria in the animals gut. The idea is that if a large population of beneficial bacteria is in place, then harmful bacteria cannot become established or thrive. Explain the ecological principle that is guiding this practice.
